How Students Request Test Accommodations

Requesting Testing Accommodations

  1. Students log into AIM and share their plan with all instructors/faculty. 
  2. Students make an appointment with each of their instructors/faculty. Students must be present and available to answer questions at this meeting.
  3. Students clarify with their instructors/faculty about their exams and where they will be taken. Instructors/faculty decide where exams are administered.
  4. For paper exams and quizzes that will be proctored by the SSD Testing Center, instructors complete the Alternative Testing Agreement (ATA) in AIM. Watch our video tutorial for instructions on how to complete an ATA. It is the student's responsibility to discuss scheduling conflicts with their instructor in advance.  Student exams may need to be scheduled at alternative times so a student does not miss other classes. 
  5. Once the ATA is completed, a copy will be sent to SSD, the instructor and the student. The student will report to SSD Testing Center on the scheduled days and times. 
  6. Due to the high volume of paper exams administered by the SSD Testing Center, we need advance time to print, prep exam materials, and set up assistive technology and instructions for the student. There are two options for delivering exam materials to SSD:
    1. Email your exam or quiz to SSD at least 24 hours in advance of the testing date and time
    2. Hand deliver the printed exam to SSD (LPH 116) on the day of the exam or quiz
  7. If exams are online, no additional information is needed by SSD.
